| Game #2 in our Summer of Arcade celebrations is the award-winning “Braid”. If you think it looks unusual, that’s because it is! The hero Brad is in every way the unlikely hero and must employ unconventional means to save the day.
As with many great quests in videogame history the story begins with a kidnapped princess, and without really questioning why Brad sets out to bring her safely back. One look at the guy and you’ll know he’s not much into fighting, so it’s just as well that fisticuffs are not on the cards. However Brad’s selfless pursuit leads him from the comfort of his city dwelling into a succession of worlds in which the flow of time must be manipulated to solve puzzles. It’s brain over brawn, mind over matter.
At first Brad gets himself accustomed to rewinding time, then learns to slow it down. Eventually though he will explore parallel realities in which he can exist in two places at the same time, there’s also time dilation to deal with plus various other time-based anomalies that form the basis for each extraordinary puzzle.
And so what appears to be a rather simple task of finding puzzle pieces that will help Brad rescue the princess becomes a truly confounding but ultimately rewarding adventure. Just be warned that solutions are stranger than they may first appear.
Remember too that, as part of the Summer of Arcade campaign, playing Braid enters you into a Weekly Sweepstake to win 4,000MS points. Also you have chance to win a Grand Prize of 100,000 MS points plus free 12 Month Gold Subscription and an Xbox 360 Elite when the campaign ends at the end of August. Runners up also receive 10,000 MS points plus free 12 Month Gold Subscription.
Playing Braid makes you smart.
I may be shit, but i'm enjoying myself !!!
